I've Heard that Edwards Outspsent the other two On TV Ads in SC . How does that fit in to his....

[MadBadger]

whole narrative of being completely outsptent by the other two 100 million dollar candidates?


I heard this on MSNBC a couple times today.

1. he can spend all he wants

but if HRC and Obama continue to get 6 times the media coverage than him, like they have been-well it just won't matter

[truedelphi]

2. So Carolina is his home state.

In general, candidates usually go all out in their home states in order to look strong there.

If they do poorly in their home state, it knocks down their credibility as a candidate. The naysayers can say, "See - even the people in his district don't think he has worked hard enough
or done the right things."

3. Can't it be true that he has been heavily outspent overall by the other two candidates

and yet also be true that he outspent them on TV ads in SC?

4. And don't forget, before "taking a stand" he chose NOT to take matching funds...

The fact he has less money than the other 2 means he was unable to raise as much as he originally hoped.

5. Oh, look...it's Obamaton

and Edwards hater, Mr. Alphabet Soup.

Worked on this thread idea all day, did ya?

Great job, Skippy...Nah, just kidding, it's just your typical post.

Obviously, you watch too much TV and place a disproportionate emphasis on the value of empty pumpkin head news readers, chatting up campaign "talking points". I guess you're desperate, as usual, to take away Edwards competitiveness based on his MESSAGE, right?

[MadBadger]

6. I dont hate Edwards. Once Biden dropped, hes been my second choice

Ill have no problem supporting him.

7. Well, the msm won't give him coverage, and he really needs to boost his counts in SC

If I were managing his campaign it would be a smart move. More bang for the buck. :shrug:

8. It's one state....he's still way behind overall in money....

[Beaverhausen]

9. I seriously doubt he outspent the other two

maybe in the last day or two, but I would be surprised if he spent more than the other two in the state overall.

10. Just repeating what was said at least twice by two different anchors on MSNBC
